Today we traveled with our "Trusted Driver Eager" to the orphanage to visit Lincoln and the kids. We had picked up some coloring books, markers, colored pencils along with some oragome for the kids. The day was rainy and outdoor play would not be good. The gifts were a big hit and before long everyone was playing UNO or coloring a beautiful picture.

After a short while it was shower time and all the kids moved toward the shower with their towels, buckets and clothes. Amazingly they all returned without much time passing and it was right back to the games and coloring. Not long and it was one o'clock and lunch was ready. Jen and I excused ourselves to go for a walk until the kids were done with lunch and their afternoon nap. They lay down after lunch for about two hours a day. We returned after about an hour and a half and most were up already. Play resumed and elevated to some of the toys, balls etc. that we had sent near the holidays. It was good to see them well used already and that they had gotten there. We could never get Lincoln to tell us, on Skype, that he got the box or not. Four o'clock came quick and Eager was there for our agreed transport back to the apartment. We had a great day playing Lincoln and his friends. They are so happy to have someone new to see and talk or try to talk to. Playing UNO will help me with my colors I am sure of that.
The rest of the evening Jen and I settled in had dinner and caught up on communications with the kids. We did catch a little TV The Voice, and Greys Anatomy were on in Russian version of course. You don't need to understand the language just follow along.
